Films

I slept at Lara's last night, we watched the film Ghost Ship. It was pretty good. It built up a nice spooky atmosphere. The ending was not the best. I love films with a friendly ghost in though. It adds balance and gives more depth and reality to the idea of ghosts. Because it really doesn't make sense that a perfectly nice person can die, and then their spirit suddenly becomes evil and tries to kill the innocent. The ghosts of children becoming evil is particularly bad. I don't believe a child can be evil. But more on the nature of evil another blogtime.

I've watched a lot of films lately, so I think I'll comment on them all.
The Exorcist (directors cut) - Quite shocking, but also quite funny in a totally wrong way. An unsettling film, but not as terrifying as its reputation suggests.

Girl, Interrupted - A film I can relate to, as I have had errr... mental health issues. The characters are completely real, brilliant acting, maybe because it is based on a true story it has a lot of reality in it. I nearly cried, but partly from the hope that this film gave me.

Thirteen - This film is totally gripping, your eyes are glued to the screen in unhealthy fascination. I can't believe that the characters are only thirteen though, and sometimes their motivation really is not clear. The ending left me almost in tears, it leaves you in emotional shock.
